    • He's certainly got the physique of a wrestler in the shot shown on the link: I wonder why he chose to give up boxing to pursue an acting career? Do you think it was the millions upon millions of dollars?

      This is what Mickey said, "I developed these symptoms of Brain Damage - you forget what you did the night before. You have to get out when the doctors tell you to, otherwise you're on queer street for the rest of your life. One doctor said to me before a big fight, your neurological report doesn't look too good. I was like four fights away from a big, big fight and he said, 'Mickey, how much are they paying you? Look at your tests - you won't be able to count the money'.
